One question to ask about a pergola install estimate
Pick one line of the bid. A follow-up that rewrites the whole scope does not get answered.
Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.
The line that gets replies
Freestanding where we staked it, or do you want an attached version priced? Put $8,900 in the email so they know which pergola install you mean.
Included and left out
Included: a freestanding cedar pergola on new footings, the size we staked. Left out: electric for a fan, and an HOA application fee. Footings and whether it ties to the house change the price. The stain is a small part. Do not attach a pergola to the house in a follow-up rewrite without a new price.
